Rolling on dirt

lyrics

Rolling on dirt

Cannot keep my eyes closed
waking up at the break of dawn
I am here all alone
with my demons showing up
though I hear no sound
my body is all shook up
cannot wait for my coffee dose
to decode the dreams that woke me up

-It'll be another day,
That I find out
I'm rolling on dirt again

yesterday burnt down in flames
every smile and every face
and shadow in my head
I'll carry on lackadaisically
in a world of fantasy

the world's fucked, that's nothing new
those rogrian pupils move their hands
the more they talk they more we are fucked

daddy told me once "be yourself,
do't use your fist to express"
meanwhile I do the maths
and numbers just don't add up
I need counsel I need a hand
I need a path I can walk in peace

When I was young I dreamed of changing the world
then I grew up and failed at all
I'm like a vacuum valve about to explode

But if you think about it now
things don't seem to be that bad at all
the clowns are ruling everywhere
and they cameras to submit their herd
they high taxes to keep you poor
for a life or maybe two
they spend in weapons they'll never shoot
unless closed doors they cook another foe
to sell the people some terror
